Her Suicide Note

I'm truly sorry, please understand,
But life's burden has grown too grand.
In shadows deep, I've lost my way,
Seeking solace in the night's dark way.

My heart aches with a heavy weight,
Yet this decision, my ultimate fate.
Know that I've battled, fought in vain,
But now, in peace, I must remain.

Remember me with love, not sorrow,
And cherish our memories, more tomorrow's.
For in the afterlife's eternal glow,
I'll find the peace I never could know.
